Describe what is the adaptation....

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
This is a rainforest leaf. They have drip tips that allows rainwater to flow off easily to help the leaf dry faster and easier, also it prevents fungi growth.

Drip tip leaves have one point of their leaves pointing downwards as this help to get rid of excessive water on the leaves by allowing the excess water to flow down easily so the plant stays dry so that the water dies not weigh the leaf down. Getting rid of the excessive water allows the leaf to point upwards to collect more sunlight as well as preventing fungi and bacterial from forming on the leaves.
This adaptation is especially useful in the tropical rain forest setting as there is high rainfall which also means that's high amount of excess water is collected on the leaves.
If the water drips into the soil, the roots of the plant can also get more water allowing the plant to thrive.

they all grow partially above the soil surface, which enables them to take in oxygen directly from the air when they are exposed during low tide. they also help to anchor the mangrove plants to the soft soil, thus preventing them from being uprooted and washed away by the strong waves

Drip tips help to drip off the water that collects there after rain

The leaves of most tropics rainforest plants are broad, which means that they have a larger surface area. This enables the plant to absorb as much sunlight as possible in order to make food for its own survival and growth.

One tropical rainforest adaptation is broad leaves. Broad leaves help the plants by absorbing a lot of sunlight as it has a large exposed surface area

Aerial roots
Grows above the soil surface to take in oxygen directly from the air when they are exposed during low tide.This helps then to survive in the oxygen-poor soil and it also helps to anchor the mangrove plants to the soft soil and prevents them from being uprooted and washed away by strong waves.

Tropical Forests are found near to the Equator as a main type of natural vegetation. They have high rainfall and sunlight through out the whole year. They are suitable for plant growth.
Majority of tropical rainforest plants are ever green and do not shed all their leaves at particular times of the year

aerial roots grows partially above the soil surface and enables them to take in oxygen directly from the air when they are exposed during low-tide. they also help them to anchor the mangrove plants to the soil, preventing them from being uprooted and washed away by strong waves

# data[].attributes.body
salt-secreting leaves can remove salt from saline water that their roots have absorbed. as the concentrated salt solution secreted by the leaves evaporates, salt crystals are left behind on the leaf surfaces and are subsequently removed by rain or wind.

The aerial roots grow vertically upwards from the main roots that are found just below the soil surface.

Characteristics of tropical rainforest Clairene

# data[].attributes.body
There are high temperature all year round as well as high rainfall all year round. TRF are also evergreen meaning that they never shed their leaves at particular times of the year, they also have a large variety of species!
TRF also have 3 layers; undergrowth, canopy and emergent layer. Emergent being the highest. There are not many plants in the undergrowth ( little sunlight) and emergent layer
Canopy layer is thick and continous as it is the ' best ' place for most plants to grow

Tropical rainforests have 3 layers they are the undergrowth layer, canopy layer and the emergent layer. We are able to find leaves such as broad leaves, waxy leaves, drip tip leaves. Broad leaves provide large surface area to absorb as much sunlight to make food. Waxy leaves help reduce water vapour that is lost during transpiration. Drip tip leaves allows rain water to flow easily and help prevent fungi and bacteria growing on the leaves

The tallest trees in the tropical rainforest are able to grow to 30 metres or more in height. The crowns of these trees form the emergent layer.

The tropical rainforest experience the tropical climate which includes high annual rainfall and high temperatures throughout the year. It is also evergreen, so it does not shed all of their leaves at particular times of the year. They also have a large variety of species, more than any type of ecosystem in the world. There are three layers in the tropical rainforest; the emergent layer, canopy layer and the undergrowth layer.
